Essential Oils

Essential oils ignite your senses. Many scents can transport us back to a time in a moment or to a particular memory.  The smell of pine trees can transport you back to that time you went to a Christmas tree farm with your family, and immediately, you have a feeling of comfort, or stress depending on your tree experience, lol. 

Essential oils can be used and enjoyed in a variety of ways.  Applied topically, with a carrier oil (Almond, Coconut, Shea, etc.) Diffused, in a bath, or  spritzed on bedding, or clothing.  Aside from smelling good, essential oils are also therapeutic. The variety of oils is as diverse as effects that they can have.  From mood boosters, to sleep enhancing, essential oils can help to calm you, focus you, inspire, remember, and much more.
